hardcastle -- you seem to be completely missing the point.
The app includes an integrated bookstore, thus lending a veneer of authority to the modifications.
Authors are pissed as hell.
The app no longer includes an integrated bookstore. People are still free to sideload their books to this reader app, and proceed to do whatever damn stupid things they want, because that (stupidity) is a fundamental right.
Most of the people who were upset are more or less happy.
Some people are still harping on about an author's moral right to forbid you to draw on your pbook with sharpies -- ebooks being "licenses" gives them the opportunity to justify their beliefs.
